Alan Shearer sums up Leicester City's win against Swansea in two words

Leicester City restored their eight-point lead over Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the Premier League title with a brilliant 4-0 win over Swansea City at the King Power Stadium this afternoon.

Goals from Riyad Mahrez and Leonardo Ulloa gave the Foxes a commanding 2-0 lead at the half-time break, before the Argentine striker added a third on the hour mark.

Marc Albrighton lashed home a fourth in the closing minutes as Claudio Ranieri's side - who have three games left - took a big step toward completing the fairytale which, under the circumstances, might be the most incredible sporting achievement in history.

Much of the pre-match talk had centered around whether City could still win without 22-goal Jamie Vardy, who sat this one out due to a one-match ban, but his replacement Ulloa and his team-mates answered those questions emphatically this afternoon.
